Amazon.com Inc.’s Audible is testing a lower-priced audiobook subscription in Australia, a possible response to Spotify Technology SA’s move into the field.

The new plan, called Audible Standard, costs A$8.99 ($5.86) a month. That compares with A$16.45 for the established Premium Plus offering, according to the company’s website. Both provide users with one book a month.
